Beckham

As your second birthday has come and gone I find myself wanting to remember everything about this fun stage that you're in.  I don't think we could have asked for a better baby to break us into this parenting business.  From day one, you were a good sleeper, eater, and easy going.  To be honest, it makes me nervous to have a second child, because I'm not sure we'll be so fortunate the next time around.  You're loving, happy and ALL boy.  Constantly making truck sounds, throwing balls, and asking for your cars.
I'm awestruck daily by the things you know like counting to 20, knowing your colors,shapes and alphabet. How did you learn all that?! You say funny phrases like, "Here it comes, there it goes, " "Good job" "Don't want it," and of course "Mine!" and "No"  (the latter aren't as endearing. :)  You still prefer Dad over me, but my stock is improving.  Right now you're obsessed with trash trucks, and could eat yogurt all day, every day if I let you. I recognize the "Terrible Two's" are around the corner, but hope a little piece of my sweet, easy going boy will remain.  You've made us better little man, we love you and feel lucky to have you a part of our family.

Man down

I couldn't help but post these funny videos of Beckham, mostly because Beckham turned out to be fine, despite the corner of the couch's best attempt to K.O. him.

Beckham's funny sayings

Beckham is saying more and more these days. Many times I'm caught off guard when he points to something and tells me exactly what it is, "Hat," "Apple" and "Truck." He's obsessed with airplanes, and exclaims "airplane" everytime he sees one. It really is fun to watch him grow and absorb everything like a sponge. I have to say my favorites are "tank-uuu" (thank you) and "i wuuv u" (I love you). Just the other day he kept saying, "Momma, Momma, Momma" and I kept replying, "Yes, Beckham?" Finally after about the 5th "Momma" he said, "Momma, I wuuv you." Oh, how I love that sweet boy! Sadly, one day I'll want to ring his neck, but right now I'll bask in this joyful, can't get enough of him stage. We were able to catch a little bit of his jabbering on video.

Santa Barbara

I know I haven't posted in a couple of months, but to be quite honest friends I don't feel my life is all that exciting to tell anyone about. But we took a little weekend get-away so I thought "that's a little something out of the ordinary!" Living in a desert climate it pretty much feels like summer all year, until it actually IS summer and then it just feels like the surface of the Sun. Well "summer" is officially here, and we have triple digits to prove it.

So we escaped from our toasty 110 degree weather to Santa Barbara for the weekend to visit Ty's sister Melanie for her birthday It was such a great visit, good weather, good food, and great company. It was so nice to see Melanie, she lives is such a beautiful house that I'm kicking myself I didn't get pictures of (Oprah lives down the road.....seriously) and we were able to finally get back to the beach with Beckahm. My only complaint is that it went by too fast, and I wish we didn't live so
far away from her so we could visit more often! :)

Happy 1st Birthday!

This past week we celebrated Beckham's first birthday! I can't believe my sweet boy is one. It feels like I just brought him home from the hospital as a sleepy new mom, not really sure what I was doing. Thank you Beckham for bringing so much laughter and joy into our family. Here's a video and some pictures of his party.
